July a white-hot month for car sales USA Today (print edition headline)

[Bill USA]

[font size="+1"]... there will be more gnashing of teeth and rending of garments in Republican Lounges (lead by Sen. Shelby) today. Consumers are showing up to buy cars at an annual clip of 16 million units. Ben Bernanke: 12pts, Republicans: 9 (they have managed to slow the recovery by about two years and 4 million jobs, ya gotta give the degenerate fascists credit for that, after all - especially in the next elections). Oh well, the best laid plans of men ... and anti-Patriot Politicians ... oft go awry (thank God... and Ben Bernanke).[/font]

The auto industry got off to a powerful start to the second half of the year in July, with a 14% sales increase due to strong demand for pickups and small, fuel-efficient cars.

Now the test is to see whether it can be maintained.

General Motors occupied the top spot on overall sales, with a 16.3% increase over the same month a year earlier. But in a surprise, Toyota rode a 17.3% increase to take the second spot in cars sold, usually occupied by Ford, which had an 11.3% boost. Toyota was ahead by only 314 vehicles out of 193,394 it sold during the month.

Honda was in fourth place with a 20.9% increase, and Chrysler Group came next with a 11.1% rise, Autodata reported Thursday.
